Moonlighting as our in house Agony Aunt, Made In Chelsea\u2019s likeable ice queen Lucy Watson chats Tinder, tantrums and teenhood<\/p>\n

There are a few things to note about Made In Chelsea star Lucy Watson. One, she\u2019s a control-freak who\u2019s super self-critical when watching herself back on TV; two, she prefers it when a guy speaks to her on a night out as opposed to tweeting her afterwards saying he was too scared to approach her; and three, she says she\u2019s not actually that much of a bitch.<\/p>\n

After watching a few episodes of Channel 4\u2019s hit series back-to-back, it\u2019s clear that Watson, with her catty one-liners and looks that kill, is Reality TV\u2019s quintessential mean girl. With a string of on-screen spats to choose from, I\u2019m desperate to know who would go in Watson\u2019s burn book. \u201cOh my god, so many people,\u201d she laughs. \u201cI\u2019m joking. I\u2019m not really a burn book girl, I\u2019m more of a say-it-to-your-face type.\u201d No backstabbing with Watson \u2013 what you see is what you get. \u201cI don\u2019t want to name names. I don\u2019t even want to give them the privilege of being in my burn book,\u201d she adds when probed.<\/p>\n

Recently, Watson started her own jewellery line, toting garish fang and claw-shaped bracelets and necklaces. \u201cIt\u2019s called The Creature,\u201d she tells Wonderland<\/i>. \u201cI\u2019m quite a creative person, so I\u2019ve always wanted to do something along these lines.\u201d She\u2019s sticking to acting for now, though \u2013 despite quitting drama school on day one, upon receiving homework. \u201cI would love to play some fucked-up druggie in a play or a film one day \u2013 something really challenging,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s so far from what I am, or an introverted person.\u201d If that isn\u2019t possible though, she\u2019ll settle for a Bond girl gig. \u201cThat would be my ideal role!\u201d<\/p>\n

To celebrate the release of her new self-help dating book The Dating Game<\/i>, Watson plays the role of Wonderland<\/i>\u2019s agony aunt.\u00a0 troublesome teen herself (\u201cI was a nightmare\u201d), our readers are asking the right person\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Reader:<\/strong> \u201cMe and my guy have been dating for around\u00a0<\/i>six months now. We keep it casual (there\u2019s no official title\u00a0<\/i>yet) but everywhere we go, he expects me to pay! Dinner,\u00a0<\/i>cinema, drinks\u2026the lot! Should I dump him?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Lucy Watson:<\/strong> Yes. That\u2019s not okay, unless you literally earn ten times as much as him, but even then he should still pay for the occasional thing. I\u2019m all for equal rights for women, but that\u2019s taking it too far!<\/p>\n

R:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ve been with my current boyfriend for around a year,\u00a0<\/i>we\u2019re officially a couple and all his friends know me. But\u00a0<\/i>he still won\u2019t change his relationship status! Does this\u00a0<\/i>mean he\u2019s not that into me<\/i>?\u201d<\/p>\n

L:<\/strong> Do you mean on Facebook? I hate that thing. He may just not be that fussed about Facebook, but if you\u2019ve actually asked him outright and he\u2019s said no, then that\u2019s slightly strange. Do you trust him? Is everything else in the relationship perfect? Because if you have a gut feeling that something else is wrong, then you could be onto something.<\/p>\n

R:<\/strong> \u201cIs everyone just looking for sex on Tinder? How\u00a0<\/i>can I meet guys IRL?!<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

L:<\/strong> I don\u2019t use Tinder, so I\u2019m not the best person to advise. However from what I hear, I think it is used to go on dates. But I don\u2019t think you should be using it to find \u201cThe One\u201d. If you do, great! What a bonus! But there are other ways of dating. Get a friend of a friend to set you up on a date. Word of advice \u2013 never go out looking, you\u2019ll just be disappointed. It\u2019s always when you least expect to meet someone great that you actually do.<\/p>\n

R:<\/strong> \u201cEvery time I find someone I like, it goes well for two\u00a0<\/i>months and then I start hearing from them less and less\u00a0<\/i>and eventually I get kicked to the kerb. It\u2019s so unfair! Why\u00a0<\/i>does this keep happening?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

L:<\/strong> You need to work out what you\u2019re doing wrong. Or it may just be bad luck. Some guys are douchebags! Some are afraid of commitment. I wouldn\u2019t give up. Also, tell your friends what you do when you date someone. They may advise you that you are being too clingy or needy, or something along those lines. If you don\u2019t have any friends, read my book.<\/p>\n
